switch hitting

I have a son in the 8th grade. He has a good arm, glove and bat. His speed is decent but not special. Does anyone have an opinion on learning to switch hit? He is a righty. He is a good enough athlete to do it with some extra work. His left handed swing path looks nice but without alot of work he will not have the power. I have been told that unless he is particularly fast, the extra work to pull it off is a waste of time. Thoughts?
